Insanity Challenges During Your Second Week

If you have decided to take on the Insanity Workout, then congrats! You're in for a crazy ride, and if you manage to stick it through you will not only lose a ton of weight but feel incredible and look even better. However, the vast majority of people who start Insanity will quit within the first three weeks, and that's because they don't consider the challenges particular to such an extreme workout before diving in. Instead they allow their enthusiasm and determination to lead them right into their first workout and get started without examining their lifestyle and habits so that before they know it, they can't take any more and have quit. Will this happen to you? Probably not if you think things through first and get ready for the extreme levels of exercise you are about to commit to. In today's article we take a look at the second week of your training, and point out the challenges you will need to prepare for in order to succeed.

The first challenge that people rarely expect is the loss of enthusiasm. The first workout was a trip, completely novel and exhilarating. The second and third one were agonizing but you still had your head in the game, but by week 2 you will have gone through all the workouts once and will have begun to repeat them. You'll be sore, probably tired from not sleeping enough and aching and lethargic from poor nutrition, because odds are you haven't taken the nutrition plan seriously enough. As a result, that initial enthusiasm is gone and you're now feeling like the Insanity workout is actually just work, another chore to add to your schedule.

If that's the case, you need to realize that the real problem is your lack of energy. If you were eating and sleeping enough you would feel great, and look forward to the workout. If you're dragging, you need to start eating more and sleeping more so as to get into the right frame of mind.

Second, you are probably sick of feeling so tight and sore each morning. This is because Shaun T's final five minutes of stretching are insufficient to truly relax your muscles after your workout. So what you should add is a good ten to fifteen minutes of your own stretching right after, so that you can feel better and more prepared for the next workout the following day.
